Paul Eigenberger, MD

I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado and attended Colorado State University majoring in English Literature. After college I joined a national disaster response and recovery program called the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) and was stationed out of Sacramento, California. As fate would have it, I met future partner on day one, and we recently welcomed our daughter into the world. During my year of service with the AmeriCorps NCCC, I lived and worked in underserved communities in Louisiana, California and Hawaii, and witnessed firsthand the drastic health disparities effecting our communities. It was then I decided to take the first steps towards entering medical school to better serve these populations. During my tenure at the University of Colorado School of Medicine I’ve focused my energy on serving the underserved populations of Denver. This has included a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) at our urban safety net hospital, and afterwards a David L. Boren Fellowship in Córdoba, Argentina with a focus on public mental health care in Latin America. As future psychiatrist I am interested in the expanding and destigmatizing treatment for addictions, the evolving interface of psychiatry with other medical specialties and learning/teaching physician advocacy. Outside of medicine I enjoy fly fishing, mountain biking, snowboarding and strumming the guitar.
